#BadScan update!

The black ink in my Colour StyleWriter 2500 seems to be working properly again. The other colours are questionable, but black is going strong. So if you print your image in B&W to Stylin’ in my #GlobalTalk zone, it should all come out fine.

Then I can scan your image in either glorious 1-bit or luxurious 5-bit greyscale with my Macintosh 512 and ImageWriter II, and save it either to my server or send it directly to yours over GlobalTalk!

What could go wrong

That’s right, the notorious ThunderScan turns an ImageWriter into a scanner, and you can have access to it with #BadScan! #GlobalTalk #MARCHintosh

And if you really want the true full-circle experience of terribleness, I can print your scan back out on the ImageWriter onto carbon copy payslip paper and mail that back to you ✉️ 🖨️

This is a #MARCHintosh greeting from @europlus to show the paper type. It’s much better quality than a #BadScan 😜
